    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    I first took a MBII in graduate school in the early 80's and not since. It was interesting to take this test and find I score the same indicators. ENTJ

    So while I was doing the wingtips

    I share the same sentiment! No matter what you fly, there's always something better. My 172 O-320 is mine, she fits my budget and needs and I'm happy to have her. Heck, she flew me from NY to the Pacific coast last year and this year there've been more exciting adventures—I'm just honored and...

    How far would you drive to join a good flying club?

    The airport closest to me turned out to have three problems I couldn't overcome. Too expensive, too many jets to wait behind at hold-short line and too dang noisy. I tried another airport about 45 minutes away, but their prices were high and the airport was in a geological bowl and could be...

    Aviation's Glass Ceiling-why more women don't fly

    OMGAWD, you've got me in freekin' STITCHES with your ignore list. I'll be giggling to myself over that the rest of the day. [Frank'll be bugging me, "What's so funny?"]

    Aviation's Glass Ceiling-why more women don't fly

    Great post Tristar, makes me want to live in NE. I am in total agreement with your post and have nothing to add except, well, you sound like a wonderful, knowledgeable instructor. That same AOPA Flight Training magazine has an article on fear, specifically Stall fears, and it really dissects...

    Aviation's Glass Ceiling-why more women don't fly

    Tim, that was for you...you can now add sexy to your list of fine qualities. :goofy: In the beginning the thread was so negative, I wanted to delete it. But, I'm glad I didn't (actually, i don't think i could anyway) because some good caring people have shown up that support the issue and...

    Aviation's Glass Ceiling-why more women don't fly

    Well said Azure. Exactly. Now, how do we tackle complex and cultural reasons so that a few more women might be encouraged and supported?

    Aviation's Glass Ceiling-why more women don't fly

    I'm just shocked that we cannot have a simple discussion about why woman don't fly without it feeling, to some males, like an attack against males. None of the women on this thread, myself included, is trying to attack men. I like and respect most of the pilots I know-94% are men. Heck...

    Aviation's Glass Ceiling-why more women don't fly

    Yes, flying is about accountability. But I don't think the article or the intent of this thread was for women to assume a defensive posture. There is no doubt in my mind that women make capable, talented pilots. Directasfiled is one, I'm another. Heck, look at women in aviation over this past...

    Aviation's Glass Ceiling-why more women don't fly

    You know, Aviatingfool (good handle), in my airplane it's called the Box Office. And Frankly, whining is allowed. Even encouraged, if that's what takes at that moment. You see, in my airplane, the one thing that isn't allowed is misplaced machismo. Maybe we need a a couple of lifetimes to...

    Aviation's Glass Ceiling-why more women don't fly

    Pylets, ...really? Is that a regional thing? Demographics? You did a demographic study? I don't think so. Look how you denigrate the women you know who are PILOTS. Tsk-tsk-tsk. Somebody better tell the International Women in Aviation group that they're going to need a bigger month...like...

    Aviation's Glass Ceiling-why more women don't fly

    I like you, DirectasFiled. You're a tough lady to stand up in this crowd and make sense. How could I not agree with you, you speak from experience and you speak from your heart. Congrats on working your dream. You are so lucky to have had such a stellar role model as your mom. Before I...

    Aviation's Glass Ceiling-why more women don't fly

    Cool article in AOPA Flight Training magazine. The article is titled, Aviation's Glass Ceiling. It discusses the issue of why there aren't more women pilots. I thought it was interesting in that it went beyond financial issues to understand the dearth of women going into flying...
